Why Maybank should give me tickets to Legoland

Salam,

 Well, it all started about 3 months ago. I was having this intention of experimenting whether a child can memorize surah2 from the Holy Quran. So I thought, why shouldn't I start on my son, AZA who is only 5?

 What I did was just let him listen to me recite the surah first, then stressed on the sequence of the ayat, and then let him tried. Once he got all the pronunciation right, he next moved to recite the whole surah, under my observation, corrected him along the way...Mind you, I know I was quite firm with him on this sometime, because Insya Allah this will make him memorize better.

 These steps were done mostly everyday, on our way back home after picking him up from his school. Yup, it's true everything must be done consistently, so we did this everyday without fail. Spent about 10 mins for this, and the rest, we just talked, sang out loud of the music played in the radio.

 To add on that, incentive works well, too. I've spoken to some of his teachers, and they said it's fine to attract children with incentives for anything they'll be doing. I told him if he can memorize 5 surahs, I would bring him to National Zoo. And he did it, Alhamdulillah (fyi, my son is yet to read Muqaddam or Quran, just went for Iqra' lessons). Then the next time he was asking for more. So the conversations went like this: 

Me:      If 7 surahs, I'll bring you to Sunway Lagoon.
AZA:   Yeay, Sunway Lagoonnnnnn....
Me:      OK, next is 10 surahs...
AZA:   Haaa? 10? Banyak sangat tu...
Me:     Takpe, kerana Allah. You want to know where you are going when you got 10?
AZA:   No, where mommy?
Me:     To Universal Studios, Singapore.
AZA:   Yeay, Singapore!!!

 Alhamdulillah, he has now memorized 10 surahs. And I haven't fulfilled my promise yet (not good, Roz. Don't do it again!) We plan to go to Singapore in December, when I got my 'bonus', Insya Allah... but this happened on the day Legoland opened to public.

AZA:    Mommy, saya taknak pegi Universal Studios. Saya nak pegi Legoland je lah!
Me:      Huh? Kenapa pulak?
AZA:   Sebab Legoland dalam Malaysia, Universal Studios dekat Singapore, jauh! Lagipon kita kan rakyat  Malaysia?

 That's Why Maybank Should Give Me Tickets to Legoland... in support of my son's patriotism spirit.

My Place

Assalam, I have moved to a new place, for almost 2 months now. Alhamdulillah. Well, it's not as big as the house that we rented for 5 years. But I'm glad, that all the hard work, the blood and the sweat that I've endured here in this org is finally paid off. This house is the proof, Alhamdulillah. I've personally designed the entire deco... ntah laaa.. cantik ke tidak pon tak tau laa... But I am one happy person in this house, together with my bayang2... ;)

He's Married!

Assalam... Alhamdulillah, my mom is one happy mom now. All her children are already married. Last Friday (1 June 2012), my youngest brother got married to his sweetheart. And yes, whether to call this something convenient, all her daughters and son in- law is within KL... no traveling... To MRR, selamat pengantin baru. May Allah grant you both happiness now and hereafter. Amin...

Berhijrah di 2012

Assalam... Alhamdulillah, we moved to a new place last Sunday. Was a quick decision, considering we have yet to install curtains at that place, but MAM insisted since the place is 90% ready. (malas nak bayar tambahan duit sewa pon ye jugak)... so we hired movers... just need to separate stuffs to bring and what not... when they arrived, they packed, disassembled the curtain rods, lampu yg saya rasa cantik, tapi dah tak berapa nak cantik sebenarnya, and all those countless treasures... wuishhh, banyak sebenarnya!!! at the new place, they placed those big furniture at the designated places, and those boxes were located at its specified locations... now my job started, literally. Unpack, second filtration (what to dispose, give away or keep)... penatnya Masya Allah... and as of today, I can only consider my kitchen is done... tu pon mak aihhh jenuhnya! the bigger challenge is next... to scrutinize the clothings, of 3 people, me, MAM and AZA... buat sendiri punya pon berpeluh ketiak sebelum ni, imagine that additional 2 person... tu tak kira berbulu bijik mata kalau I want to throw that particular baju, and MAM insisted to keep as it has a memory of it... (ehhh, tu I laaa, semua nak simpan, dia yg berbulu sama I) heheheh... but yeah, I have to, kalau tak, memang boleh consider hoarders laaa I ni... but anyway, I'm happy... once and for all, it's our place that we can call home. All this while, menyewa rumah orang... rumah sendiri pon disewakan... Alhamdulillah... and I'm glad my son likes it, although AZA keep asking us our next house should be a condo, not a bungalow. Reason: lps apartment is condo, cannot langkah to a bungalow straight away... hahaha... kayuh pelan2 laa tu maksud dia...

Islam Memang Untuk Semua...

Assalam, saya tak pernah rasa marah macam ni... Geram dgn sesetengah westerners yg menganggap mereka lagi bagus dari orang2 Asia... apatah lagi menganggap agama mereka lagi suci dari Islam, kemudian di katanya Islam ini agama terrorist! itu mmg sangat saya marahkan... tak kisah laa kalau awak tu nak kata awak bagus, agama awak bagus (pada pandangan awak dan sekutu2 awak), tp toksah laa labelkan agama Islam ni jahat... Saya hanya ada Allah sebagai pelindung saya...

Assalam,

tgh gila dgn Pinterest skarang...

3 Hours Q for 10 Burgers?

Salam...

I just have to blog on this...

One, for it was a hell of experience.

Two, I bought as much burgers as I can afford with the money that I had that time.

Three, my husband has stated that the next time I give that idea, he'll become mad, smoke coming out of his nostrils (I made up that part... yeaaa)

here's the chronology of what had happened:

Friday nite : 16 Mar 2012 : 11.30pm

Went to Burger Bakar Kaw- Kaw in Wangsa Maju, Sek.2 together with En. Suami, AZA, SIL and her husband. Got the idea after reading few blogs that mostly gave good feedback of the place. Stated that we had to queue for ordering the burger. So best idea, be there when it was almost midnite because business hours is from 7.45pm - 2.00 am. Pandai kan?

Tak jugak...! Reached there and were told, finito! The seller said we were late, usually order finished by 10pm... alamak! But we could see lots of ppl were still waiting. Hmmm...

Went home with keroncong tummy... tsk tsk.

Saturday nite : 17 Mar 2012 : 8.00pm

Gave the same idea to En. Suami after we had lunch @ Mohd Chan Abdullah in Wangsa Maju (mom's treat). Told him to just stayed within WM neighborhood so that we could hit the burger stall again. He agreed, with condition. Must belanja 'my boys' movie, any movie @ Wangsa Walk... but of course must be suitable for the 'mini-him'... we settled for 'Seefood'... (this time, mak have left with AJ to Cik's hse)...

Movie's done, performed maghrib... yada, yada, yada... reached the place again at 8.25pm, and started queuing at 8.30pm sharp! AZA was chatty that nite, I think those people in line in front and at the back of us were amused with his topics... Lots of Q&A between the 3 of us just to take our minds off from thinking there are still long way to go to place order...

9.30pm: Our turn has arrived! With the price of RM7.50 for a 'Happiness' type of burger (trust me, this is the lowest range of their prices) and knowing that I had RM100 in my purse, I just placed 10pcs of Happiness burger. Total damage: RM75.00 and my turn was #99, currently servicing #52.

Then, next was? Waiting... again for the order to be ready... We decided to lepak at the nearest 'mamak'... and yes, that mamak was affected by this craze, too... Saw lots of familiar faces, those in front of me during queuing time moment ago.

Cut story short, our order was ready at 11.30pm. Was I glad that I ordered 10pcs? heaven yes!

I didnt plan to have it all by ourselves when first ordered... but we shared it with the rest of the family too...

To save them from going thru what we have been thru... Yes, like the modern malay saying,

"Sekali kena cukup laaaa..."

The pain: Abt this long I started queuing. The stall? U see that yellow- colored signage shop? It's opposite that shop.

Time for a Break...

Assalam,

I decided to watch Cuci The Musical- Last Kopek last nite (the last show of the last season), together with my other significant and 2 other couples, my friends.

It was kinda wrong timing, piggybank is running low (banyaknya nak pakai duit nak pindah ni!), left AZA at MIL's place (MAM really not into this idea - leaving his golden while we were out having fun) and MAM's mind is really full of things concerning his business.

I just need to cheer him up. So what I did was, told my friend weeks ago that I plan to tag along if she plans to watch the show and pls buy us tickets too. Once cleared, paid her and there we were, watched and cried (hyper- hysterical laughs were not filtered) there.

And I'm glad he had fun, too... Smiling all the way back to MIL's place.

Rambut Saya...

Salam...

Allah, mcm mana laa nih?

skarang ni kalau nak mandi jek, rambut gugur banyak betul!

tu tak masuk masa sikat...

asal sikat je, berselirat kat celah gigi2 sikat tu... haishhh...

merisaukan...

phase rambut gugur yg kronik ni aku rasa masa baru lps2 abis pantang...

AZA masa tu 3-4 bulan kot... masa tu, Masya Allah stressnya tgk rambut2 tu berderai dari kulit bila konon2 nak buat iklan pantene... haishhh...

haa, skrang dia nak jadik macam tu laa.. cumanya skarang ni taklaa sebanyak dulu tu...

tp utk org yg tak pregnant, dan tak abis pantang cam aku, tu dah kira terkujat laa tu...

hmmm, nak kena jumpa dr ni... ke nak guna petua je...

AZA @ TK - Teacher's Review

Salam,

Saya dan suami pegi jumpa cikgu sekolah AZA tadi...

mcm report card day laa..

Alhamdulillah, saya sangat bersyukur dgn progress AZA.

Teacher A*ura & Teacher *at dia kata, AZA ni sangat senang utk di handle.

Kalau ada 10 orang mcm AZA, both teachers kata, handle 3 classes pon takpe...

senang hati saya mendengarnya... Alhamdulillah.

Since AZA dah boleh membaca, and sometimes do simple math, teacher dia kata dorang kena pikir cara lain nak kasik menda tu challenging to him.

Tapi saya gembira bila teacher kata AZA tu mcm abang dalam kelas tu...

Sbb dia selalu abis dulu kalau teachers kasik apa2 kerja, and dia akan tolong kawan2 dia pulak...

kadang2 teacher sampai tegur jgn tolong, tp dia tetap tolong bila teacher pandang tempat lain...

Saya selalu doa AZA jadik abg yg baik utk adik2 dia...

walaupon dia takde adik betul lagi, saya tetap gembira he has shown that good character,

towards his friends dan jugak cousin2 dia... Alhamdulillah

In uniform for K2 class

9 tahun pulak

Salam.

Alhamdulillah. Another year. Ya Allah, limpahkanlah rasa sayang, cinta dan kasihan kepada kami dan bantulah kami menjadi umat2 Mu yang bertakwa. Amin.

Happy anniversary, che' abang.
